Tuesday Post 364

 Good afternoon! Firstly, today I've been hard @ work plodding 2436 steps; secoondly, John Piper's daily devotional topic from last night's 'Proud Works Vs. Humble Faith'; thirdly, TWFT topic's 'Be On Your Guard' and fourthly, Our Daily Bread's devotional topic's 'Who Deserves The Praise'? Anyways, events for today?

• Yay, for the first time in three days, awesome sleep last night! Nature didn't call until 7:45am when dearest dad very thoughtfully walked silently along the hallway and unpopped the lock into the garage; after one pot :P trip I spend ten minutes beginning a mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me with the patience, perseverance, strength and endurance I need to get through today with, giving PIG mum all the pleasure, all the satisfaction and just suffering for her whenever she decided that only she can be happy and/or satisfied. It doesn't sound very fair, but she's taught me through her actions, if not through her words, that it's enough she's happy and/or satisfied, and I guess whenever that happens, I've just got to grit my teeth and endure. >< *sigh*
• After dearest dad kisses me bye, pretends to suck Pearl's SEVEN pearls, laughs his head off when Pearl body slams him for the cheek and leaves  for his hard day's work, Pearl, Pijum and I all happily cuddle and snore, me waking once more for the pot :P shortly before noisy PIG mum begins her daily a-THUMPING around upstairs. Soon, she's let herself into my room to hit me with the eye goo before going back outside and awaiting Lena's arrival @ 9am.
• Once PIG mum lets Lena in, she knocks, pushes open the  door and bids me good morning first. When I nod Pearl @ her, she laughs, bids Pearl good morning also and offers us fifteen more minutes and wisely leaving when Pearl nods @ her. Phew, since he's anatomically incapable of giving the Bear Bum. XD
• When Lena comes back, I use the pot :P for one more tinkle and we get me kitted before I head over  to the bathroom and brush teeth. That done, I sit over the loo for one tinkle, wash and dry Era and then head out to the gobbling :P table with Lena, who told me she had noodles for breakfast!
• For my breakfast I slurp one bowlful of Weet-Bix porridge with one slice of dry (unbuttered) toast lightly spread with avocado and lightly sprinkled with salt, all my usual drugs :P and one full mug of water. Over breakfast, I spent another ten minutes continuing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, asking him please to help me get through today okay. I find it's exceedingly important to constantly remind the cruel and unfaithful God that He has no bearing  on  my good day whatsoever, that I am perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him, because my good day's dependent on my own good attitude. If only God would remember that ... *sigh* He created the phrase 'live and let live', so why the heck can't He lemme live the free, independent life that I deserve? Okay, fair enough, we all only deserve death because of Him, but why can't He just lemme live the life that nearly everyone else gets to live?? *sigh*
• After breakfast, I sit once more over the loo. There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel. Remember, however the cruel and unfaithful God tries to make my day bad for me, I won't let that affect me because my good day has NOTHING to do with Him; I'm perfectly capable of having a good day without Him, despite Him and apart from Him. See, my good day's dependent on my own good attitude!There, I do a stinky unspeakable, also leaning fully against the side rail and finishing my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel.

• After washing and drying Era, I sat outside my bedroom while Lena dabbed my face with sunscreen (she's the only carer who uses a tissue; everyone else just uses their fingers!), then I grabbed Green Sticky befoore climbing into the passenger seat of her car. Lena kindly helps me buckle my seatbelt (as she does so all day) and then she tootles me off to Breathe for physio but we arrive early enough that I get thirty minutes to play Jewel Quest first! Will remember that for all future Breathe physio sessions: don't sit over the pot:P .
• Physio today: 2.602km bike ride, 36 leg curls for Elf, 36 shoulder press per hand and boxing! Whoops Alan forgot to tell me that today was his last week with Jacky and  I didn't bring him a chocolate bar to say thank-you! XD
• After physio, Lena tootled me off to Pinelands Plaza and phew, there was a disabled park available this week~
• Lena grabbed a trolley for us and we headed into Coles to buy a carton of milk. Our other stop was the Pinelands  Bakehouse for my once-weekly bahn mi, but since there was a long line outside Lina had me sit @ the table first. When Aunty Nancy  went over to the cabinent to get my bahn mi, I called out "hi Aunty Nancy!" and she called hi back, waving her arm out above the cabinet! XD
• Back home, I took a nice hot shower - hairwash today. Also thanks to Lena who helped me rinse out my hair, thus freeing Era to hold my stupid right eye tightly shut.
• I had one tinkle before Lena flipped the nice hot water off, got  dried, had another tinkle and got creamed. When Lena rekitted me, I had one more tinkle when she was doing Elf's AFO straps and one last when she was giving Wally back to  Ela.
• Back outside, Lena went back and cleaned the bathroom, while I started munching my delicious bahn mi for lunch. That was washed down with one mug of really yummy and  fragrant Chinese tea.
• PIG mum sat down beside Lena and yapped @ her;  looked like the poor thing wouldn't get to leave @ 2pm! How I saved the day: @ 2pm I pushed my lunch dish and cup and asked her to please wash those up for me, while  I went to the toilet. Clever Lena said sure, just sign me off first please.
• After sitting over the loo for two tinkles, I washed and  dried Era and then walked myself slowly and safely online, rising above the cruel and unfaithful God’s near-overwhelming hatred and not letting him push me over.
• Dolly's taking me to Toastmasters tonight!  Looking forward to bringing some dinner back home from Maccas; never mind that UnHappy Meals were what I ate surely MORE THAN THREE DECADES  ago!! *sigh*
• Toms: presumably will see Ray for some massage and acupuncture in the late morning; bet PIG mum's simply DYING to yap unceasingly @ him. XD Unless I've got NAB physio?
• Bree's minding me from midday till 6pm, and taking me to table tennis! I've been lucky enough to share in birthday cake for the past FOUR  weeks; surely there won't be birthday cake for the FIFTH week running??
• Must remind PIG mum to please feed me dinner @ 6pm coz Origin 3 coverage starts @ 7pm: GO THE MIGHTY MAROONS!!! Aim for the clean sweep!!!
• So maybe bbl, otherwise wishing everyone a smashing day toms!
  Cheers,
  Em. ^^
